<p>They are such a pain. I can't do a related rates problem to save my life. What should I do? :(</p>
<p>My textbook doesn't explain them well. I can try to get help from my teacher, but she even has trouble with some related rates problems. :s</p>
<p>if u post a specific problem it might be of more help, since someone can walk you through it</p>
<p>Well, there was this one problem on a recent test that I had no clue where to even start. I'll post it when my teacher grades it & hands it back.</p>
<p>yeah related rates is hard, but once you get the hang of it its really easy
try going to some calc websites
google "related rates calculus solutions" and they usually will have websites with specific problems and have a step by step explanation of what to do</p>
<p>Use the free online AP class thing that UC has. They have a section about related rates in the AP Calc BC course.</p>

<p>LOL.</p>
<p>Okay, not really funny, but my calc test on related rates brought my grade down 5%. </p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>yeah related rates are said to be hard...but once u do a few...the rest are similar in a way (atleast was for the examples i was given for calc ab last year). Just knowing what formula to use for what type of problem helps a lot. Is it like the derivative of the formulas u need to use troubling u? or generally understanding the question as a whole?</p>
<p>I don't always understand how to set up related rates problems. Once I get them set up correctly, I'm good to go.</p>
